POLICE STATE: DHS Announces Program to ILLEGALLY Scan Our Faces—And They’re Forcing Us to Pay For It

POLICE STATE: DHS Announces Program to ILLEGALLY Scan Our Faces—And They’re Forcing Us to Pay For It

RACHEL BLEVINS

As TSA agents continue to prove their incompetence in the “War on
Terror,” the Department of Homeland Security is now allocating $1
billion in taxpayer funding to create a facial recognition program that
will illegally scan Americans’ faces.

A study conducted by Georgetown Law’s Center for Privacy and
Technology looked at the biometric scanners that are creating an
inventory of the faces of individuals leaving the country at airports
across the United States. While they are only at certain major airports
right now, the full implementation of these scanners could cost
Americans up to $1 billion.The study noted that while the “9/11 Response and Biometric Exit Account” created by Congress has the funds for the program, “neither Congress nor DHS has ever justified the need for the program.”
In addition to the fact that Congress has never provided a reason why
the system is needed in the U.S., the study claimed that DHS has “repeatedly
questioned ‘the additional value biometric air exit would provide’
compared with the status quo and the ‘overall value and cost of a
biometric air exit capability,’ even as it has worked to build it.”
Not only is a government agency pouring $1 billion into a program to
increase the country’s security measures even though it lacks full
confidence, and has no evidence that the program it is implementing will
do so, there is also the fact that the program requires Americans to
give up their civil liberties, and it has never been explicitly
authorized by the government. As the researchers from Georgetown Law
noted:

“DHS’ biometric exit program also stands on shaky legal ground.
Congress has repeatedly ordered the collection of biometrics from
foreign nationals at the border, but has never clearly authorized the
border collection of biometrics from American citizens using face
recognition technology. Without explicit authorization, DHS should not
be scanning the faces of Americans as they depart on international
flights—but DHS is doing it anyway. DHS also is failing to comply with a
federal law requiring it to conduct a rulemaking process to implement
the airport face scanning program—a process that DHS has not even
started.”

The study also found that the biometric scanners used by DHS are not reliable, and often make mistakes. In fact, “according
to DHS’ own data, DHS’ face recognition systems erroneously reject as
many as 1 in 25 travelers using valid credentials.” This
means that at the country’s busiest airports, more than 1,500 travelers
could be wrongfully denied boarding in a single day.
As The Free Thought Project has reported,
while the biometric scanners are currently located at the major
airports in Boston, Chicago, Houston, Atlanta, New York City and the
District of Columbia, DHS has made it clear that they plan to roll this
program out nationwide by January 2018.
Sens. Ed Markey, a Democrat from Massachusetts, and Mike Lee, a
Republican from Utah, criticized the privacy implications, and called
for Homeland Security to halt the facial recognition scanning program in
a letter to DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielson:

“We request that DHS stop the expansion of this program, and
provide Congress with its explicit statutory authority to use and expand
a biometric exit program on U.S. citizens. If there is no specific
authorization, then we request an explanation for why DHS believes it
has the authority to proceed without congressional approval.
Additionally, we ask that you address a number of our privacy concerns
with the program.”

Markey told
The Hill that DHS should never have started testing and implementing
the biometric scanners without first receiving congressional approval,
and the United States Congress should take the time to weigh the
implications of the program before handing the department a blank check.“When American citizens travel by air internationally, they should not have to choose between privacy and security,” Markey said. “The
implementation of the Department of Homeland Security’s facial
recognition scanning program for passengers leaving the country raises a
number of concerns around accuracy, transparency and basic necessity.”

Bye Bye Paper: What You Need to Know About WeChat's New Digital ID Cards

WeChat, a
messaging app, developed by Tencent has announced its brand-new project
that will turn China’s most popular social network into an official
electronic personal identification system.

Government
officials from Guangzhou, the capital of the southern province
of Guangdong, have launched a pilot program that creates a virtual ID
card through WeChat, which serves as a digital w of the traditional
state-issued paper ID, Xinhua reported.

How Does It Work?

The project is slated to provide access
to a raft of online and offline government services as well as other
services requiring authentication such as ticketing and hotel bookings.
At the core of the application lies facial recognition technology.

The trial of the app began on December
25, and so far more than 30,000 citizens have registered to receive
their WeChat ID cards a day after the launch, Xinhua added. According
to the Chinese media outlet, there are two versions of the ID card: a
“lightweight edition” for citizens who just need to prove their
identity, and an “upgraded version” for when stricter authentication is
required such as registering a business.

Why Now?

China’s Ministry of Public Security has
already announced a mass crackdown on online platforms stealing and
selling personal information such as state personal ID numbers, which
has become a pressing issue in the country. Tencent Holdings Ltd. ranks
well below its international peers like Alphabet Inc., Twitter Inc., and
Facebook Inc. in its efforts to protect user data. Having realized the
gravity of the problem, the company is introducing this update in an
attempt to prevent online identity theft. If the project proves
successful in Guangzhou, it will be expanded to other regions starting
from January 2018.

China's "App For Everything"

WeChat, officially launched in 2011, has
evolved into China’s biggest social network with 980 million monthly
active users as of late September. While many may believe that it is an
ordinary messaging app like Facebook or WhatsApp, it has a wide range
of functions and platforms besides texting, video games or searching
for friends.

WeChat Pay

The app includes online payment
services, called WeChat Pay, which a couple years ago introduced a
feature for distributing virtual red envelopes to match the Chinese New
Year tradition of exchanging money among relatives and friends. It even
allows money to be distributed equally when sent to groups.

City Services And Heat Map

WeChat has introduced another feature
“City Services,” that lets users pay electricity bills, traffic fines,
make a doctor’s appointment or book transportation. Another feature, the
heat map, is an indispensable tool in such an overpopulated country
as China as it shows crowd density.

Enterprise WeChat

One feature introduced for work
purposes, companies and business communications, is supposed to help
employees draw a line between their work and private life. The app can
ask your colleagues to clock in for you to show that you were at work or
to ask for time off.

WeChat is constantly under development, adding new features to meet the growing demand for China’s digital hungry population.

Intelligence Community Says US Had Better Reauthorize Surveillance… Or Else

WaPo, which to this day continues to violate universal journalistic protocol by refusing to disclose its $600 million conflict of interest
when reporting on the US intelligence community, just so happens to
once again find itself in full agreement with that same US intelligence
community. In a new joint statement
by the Director of National Intelligence Daniel Coats, CIA Director
Mike Pompeo, FBI Director Christopher Wray, NSA Director Michael Rogers,
and Attorney General Jeff Sessions, the US intelligence community warns
that should congress fail to reauthorize Section 702, something very,
very bad may happen to America.

“There is no substitute for Section 702,” the statement
claims. “If Congress fails to reauthorize this authority, the
Intelligence Community will lose valuable foreign intelligence
information, and the resulting intelligence gaps will make it easier for
terrorists, weapons proliferators, malicious cyber actors, and other
foreign adversaries to plan attacks against our citizens and allies
without detection.”

Am I the only one who’s creeped out by this kind of language? This is after all the same US intelligence community that was seen in CIA documents
casually discussing the option of the “real or simulated” sinking of a
boatload of Cuban civilians as though they were discussing whether to
buy two percent or whole milk at the supermarket. The same US
intelligence community which lied about the Gulf of Tonkin incident
to manufacture support for the Vietnam War, resulting in the needless
deaths of millions of people including 58,220 Americans. The same US
intelligence community which posed as a black civil rights advocate and
tried to blackmail Martin Luther King Jr into committing suicide. The same US intelligence community which infiltrated American civil rights movements and dissident groups
in order to disrupt and discredit them and frame them for acts of
violence. The same US intelligence community which compiled a list of
American dissidents to be thrown in concentration camps in the event of a “national emergency”.

“But Caitlin,” you may be saying. “Despite all the
countless unfathomably evil things that the US intelligence community is
known to have done in the past, there’s no reason to believe they’re
still that vicious and depraved. Just because the language of the joint
statement makes it abundantly clear that they really, really want their
702 surveillance reauthorization doesn’t mean they’d do something
unspeakable to get it!”

Well that’s an interesting theory, convenient hypothetical
objection person, but one of the statement’s signatories, Mike Pompeo, recently said
he’s actually helping the lying, torturing, drug-running, warmongering,
government-toppling CIA to “become a much more vicious agency”. There
is every reason to believe that the US intelligence community is at
least as psychopathic as it has ever been.

Archbishop Lefebvre

“This Second Vatican Council Reform, since it has issued from Liberalism and from Modernism, is entirely corrupt; it comes from heresy and results in heresy, even if all its acts are not formally heretical. It is thus impossible for any faithful Catholic who is aware of these things to adopt this Reform, or to submit to it in any way at all. To ensure our salvation, the only attitude of fidelity to the Church and to Catholic doctrine, is a categorical refusal to accept the Reform.”

Archbishop Lefebvre

“And we have the precise conviction that this new rite of Mass expresses a new faith, a faith which is not ours, a faith which is not the Catholic Faith. This New Mass is a symbol, is an expression, is an image of a new faith, of a Modernist faith. ….Now it is evident that the new rite, if I may say so, supposes another conception of the Catholic religion-another religion.”

Archbishop Lefebvre

That Conciliar Church is a schismatic Church, because it breaks with the Catholic Church that has always been. It has its new dogmas, its new priesthood, its new institutions, its new worship, all already condemned by the Church in many a document, official and definitive.... The Church that affirms such errors is at once schismatic and heretical. This Conciliar Church is, therefore, not Catholic. To whatever extent Pope, Bishops, priests, or faithful adhere to this new Church, they separate themselves from the Catholic Church...

“Well, we are not of this religion. We do not accept this new religion. We are of the religion of all time; we are of the Catholic religion. We are not of this 'universal religion' as they call it today-this is not the Catholic religion any more. We are not of this Liberal, Modernist religion which has its own worship, its own priests, its own faith, its own catechisms, its own Bible, the 'ecumenical Bible'-these things we do not accept."

The Real 3rd Secret of Fatima

Inlcudes Vatican II and the soon Apostate Church..."...because Fatima is a very apocalyptic message. It says that no matter what happens there are going to be terrible wars, there are going to be diseases, whole nations are going to be wiped out, there are going to be 3 days darkness, there are going to be epidemics that will wipe out whole nations overnight, parts of the earth will be washed away at sea and violent tornadoes and storms. It's not a nice message at all." Fr Malachi Martin

Pope XII: “Suicide Of Altering the Faith In Her Liturgy…..”

"I am worried by the Blessed Virgin's messages to Lucy of Fatima. This persistence of Mary about the dangers which menace the Church is a divine warning against the suicide of altering the Faith, in Her liturgy, Her theology and Her soul. … I hear all around me innovators who wish to dismantle the Sacred Chapel, destroy the universal flame of the Church, reject Her ornaments and make Her feel remorse for Her historical past."A day will come when the civilized world will deny its God, when the Church will doubt as Peter doubted. She will be tempted to believe that man has become God. In our churches, Christians will search in vain for the red lamp where God awaits them. Like Mary Magdalene, weeping before the empty tomb, they will ask, 'Where have they taken Him?'"

St. Bernard:

Go forth confidently then, you knights, and repel the foes of the cross of Christ with a stalwart heart. Know that neither death nor life can separate you from the love of God which is in Jesus Christ, and in every peril repeat, "Whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord's." What a glory to return in victory from such a battle! How blessed to die there as a martyr! Rejoice, brave athlete, if you live and conquer in the Lord; but glory and exult even more if you die and join your Lord. Life indeed is a fruitful thing and victory is glorious, but a holy death is more important than either. If they are blessed who die in the Lord, how much more are they who die for the Lord!

How secure, I say, is life when death is anticipated without fear; or rather when it is desired with feeling and embraced with reverence! How holy and secure this knighthood and how entirely free of the double risk run by those men who fight not for Christ! Whenever you go forth, O worldly warrior, you must fear lest the bodily death of your foe should mean your own spiritual death, or lest perhaps your body and soul together should be slain by him.

Indeed, danger or victory for a Christian depends on the dispositions of his heart and not on the fortunes of war. If he fights for a good reason, the issue of his fight can never be evil; and likewise the results can never be considered good if the reason were evil and the intentions perverse. If you happen to be killed while you are seeking only to kill another, you die a murderer. If you succeed, and by your will to overcome and to conquer you perchance kill a man, you live a murderer. Now it will not do to be a murderer, living or dead, victorious or vanquished. What an unhappy victory--to have conquered a man while yielding to vice, and to indulge in an empty glory at his fall when wrath and pride have gotten the better of you!

But what of those who kill neither in the heat of revenge nor in the swelling of pride, but simply in order to save themselves? Even this sort of victory I would not call good, since bodily death is really a lesser evil than spiritual death. The soul need not die when the body does. No, it is the soul which sins that shall die.

The knight of Christ, I say, may strike with confidence and die yet more confidently, for he serves Christ when he strikes, and serves himself when he falls. Neither does he bear the sword in vain, for he is God's minister, for the punishment of evildoers and for the praise of the good. If he kills an evildoer, he is not a mankiller, but, if I may so put it, a killer of evil. He is evidently the avenger of Christ towards evildoers and he is rightly considered a defender of Christians. Should he be killed himself, we know that he has not perished, but has come safely into port.

Once he finds himself in the thick of battle, this knight sets aside his previous gentleness, as if to say, "Do I not hate those who hate you, O Lord; am I not disgusted with your enemies?" These men at once fall violently upon the foe, regarding them as so many sheep. No matter how outnumbered they are, they never regard these as fierce barbarians or as awe-inspiring hordes. Nor do they presume on their own strength, but trust in the Lord of armies to grant them the victory.

Saint Athanasius

"May God console you! ... What saddens you ... is the fact that others have occupied the churches by violence, while during this time you are on the outside. It is a fact that they have the premises – but you have the Apostolic Faith. They can occupy our churches, but they are outside the true Faith. You remain outside the places of worship, but the Faith dwells within you. Let us consider: what is more important, the place or the Faith?The true Faith, obviously. Who has lost and who has won in the struggle – the one who keeps the premises or the one who keeps the Faith? True, the premises are good when the Apostolic Faith is preached there; they are holy if everything takes place there in a holy way ..."You are the ones who are happy; you who remain within the Church by your Faith, who hold firmly to the foundations of the Faith which has come down to you from Apostolic Tradition. And if an execrable jealousy has tried to shake it on a number of occasions, it has not succeeded. They are the ones who have broken away from it in the present crisis. No one, ever, will prevail against your Faith, beloved Brothers. And we believe that God will give us our churches back some day. "Thus, the more violently they try to occupy the places of worship, the more they separate themselves from the Church. They claim that they represent the Church; but in reality, they are the ones who are expelling themselves from it and going astray. Even if Catholics faithful to Tradition are reduced to a handful, they are the ones who are the true Church of Jesus Christ."
